Kath Dalmeny is Policy Director of Sustain. Her background is as a food campaigner and consultant to organisations such as the Food Commission, National Consumer Council, National Federation of Women’s Institutes, Food Climate Research Network and the London Development Agency. She has a special interest in food, sustainability and climate change – especially how local food systems can help create resilient local economies that reduce their impact on the environment. She is also interested in how the benefits of healthier food can be enjoyed more equitably by people living on a low income. In 2009, she became a member of the Food Advisory Group to the London Organising Committee of the London 2012 Olympic Games, and was recently appointed as a member of the London Food Board Executive. On a voluntary basis, Kath is a trustee of a community-run box scheme and farmers' market that is launching an exciting new start-up support programme (Growing Communities); and a food consultancy that helps individuals and organisations working towards more sustainable, equitable food systems (Food Matters). Kath has a Masters in Food Policy from the Centre for Food Policy.
